January 16, 2026
SAULT STE. MARIE — Ontario has opened a new Indigenous-led Homelessness and Addiction Recovery Treatment (HART) Hub in the Algoma region, expanding access to mental health, addictions and housing-related supports as the province rolls out a network of 28 hubs designed to prioritize treatment and recovery.
The new hub is operated by Maamwesying North Shore Community Health Services and will deliver services in Sault Ste. Marie, Blind River and Sagamok Anishnawbek, providing culturally relevant, community-based care for individuals experiencing housing instability, mental health challenges and substance use issues.
The launch is part of Ontario’s nearly $550 million investment to establish 28 HART Hubs across the province, a program the government says is aimed at protecting community safety while improving access to high-quality recovery and treatment services.
